Chapter 194: Just Call You Old Toad!
Guo Bin looked at the wide water surface, then turned around and pulled out two long wooden boards from the reeds. He clamped the narrow sword in Guo Xuanwu's hand and tied it tightly with a thin hemp rope, leaving only the sword exposed.
The handle looks very shabby, and it is not even qualified to pretend to be a figure in the world. It makes people think that it is just for emboldening one's courage.
Guo Bin took off his clothes, wearing only his underpants, folded the clothes and handed them to Guo Xuanwu, then squatted down.
Guo Xuanwu rode on his shoulders, holding his clothes and the long sword sandwiched with wooden slats in his arms.
When everything was ready, Guo Bin slowly stood up and cautiously entered the water.
"Look! Someone is smuggling!"
The closest group of human bugs spotted them immediately.
"Holy crap! Why is that man so ugly? He's so scary!"
"I'm afraid he's a chicken! No matter how ugly he is, he's still a human being! He just can't steal our business!"
"That's right! Come find the boss!"
The leader of this group of "river sticks" is named Lin Heidun. He is a rough-and-tough guy with quite a bit of thought.
After a group of five people gathered together, one of them, Wang Dali, said: "You fucking ugly bastard! He actually smuggled in front of us, we must teach him a lesson!"
"Fuck him! Just kill him in the river!"
The four "human bugs" were talking to each other, and they were full of swear words, swearing and threatening to get into the water.
"Hegun" Lin Heido raised his thick eyebrows and waved his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute! Didn't you see that ugly monster with a sword? If he attacks recklessly, it will be dangerous!"
Wang Dali was stunned and said: "Boss! Can that piece of scrap metal sandwiched between wooden boards be called a sword? I don't think anyone would pick it up even if it was thrown on the roadside. What danger could there be?"
"You don't know, but I have seen this kind of narrow long sword called Najian. It is a weapon commonly used by Banner people. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is very sharp and light. Besides, this ugly Najian
The sword is longer than an ordinary sword, so it should be difficult to deal with!"
"Boss! What should we do? We can't just watch this ugly monster break the rules of our place? If word of this gets out, how can we still mess around?"
Lin Heidu smiled maliciously and said, "What's the hurry? Wait until he reaches the deep water. That's our world in the river. Are you afraid that we won't have a chance?"
"That's right! The boss is still knowledgeable!"
Guo Bin carried Guo Xuanwu and walked slowly in the water. It went smoothly at first, but when the water reached his chest, it began to become bumpy under his feet. The bottom of the river was covered with gravels, some big and some small. If you were not careful,
It is easy to slip when you step on moving stones. Guo Bin walked forward step by step. It was very hard and he almost fell down several times.
Lin Heido sneered and said, "This is the waterway! Let's go there!"
After that, he rushed into the river first, followed closely by the other four human insects. The five people swam quickly in the water, and in the time of a cup of tea, they all emerged from the water, blocking Guo
Bin.
Lin Heido stretched out his arms in the river to block the way, and said politely: "Hey! It is strictly forbidden to cross the river privately here. You have a child with you. It is easy to get into trouble. If you don't make a mistake, your life will be in danger. Please come back.
!”
Wang Dali chuckled and said: "It's better to go back and take our boat! We just eat this bowl of rice. It seems that you are a newbie here and don't understand the rules. We adults have a lot, so we won't argue with you!"
The other three human bugs also started shouting.
"Yes! Don't be blind, grandma, we are the only ones who can't go wrong in the deep and shallow waterways around here. We can cross the river at will and be careful to feed the bastard!"
"The depth of the water level here changes every day! If you cross the river randomly, you will die in an ugly way!"
"Hey! Ugly monster! If everyone is like you, how can we human bugs still make a living? Fuck you! If you go any further, I'll kill you!"
Wang Dali said again: "You won't say that you don't have money to cross the river, right? Otherwise, we will pay for your Najian. We won't take it too little, so you can take advantage of it!"
Guo Bin had a blank look on his face and said something that made all five human bugs stunned!
"I'm not here to cross the river. I just want to test whether I can do the human insect business. So I went into the water to try what it's like?"
"What?" All five people's eyes widened!
"I am serious about being a human insect! I used to be a nursing home for the county magistrate, but because my master committed a crime, our father and son have nowhere to go and we need to make ends meet. I wonder if you can let me join you?"
The boss, Lin Heidu, said with a look of astonishment on his face: "How... is this possible? How can you say that you have also been a small official? How can you ask ordinary people to sit on your shoulders to cross the river like us?"
"What's the difference? We are all ordinary people. Life is worse than death. We have to live our lives. It's very inconvenient to wander around the country and raise a child. We have to find a place to stay, right? Besides, my face is too The fire has burned out, and no one is willing to hire me anywhere." After speaking, Guo Bin sighed and lowered his head.
"This... he doesn't seem to be joking..." Wang Dali murmured.
"Maybe... right! It's really not easy to raise a child..."
"Boss, what do you say? It's really hard to find people in our line of work..."
Lin Heidun picked his forehead and said: "Just work hard for a few years! When your children grow up and take over from you, you will be able to enjoy some happiness. As long as you are willing to put down your body, we will accept you!"
"Thank you, boss! Everything is up to you!" Guo Bin's eyes showed a grateful look.
Lin Heidun immediately smiled and happily walked up to Guo Bin. He raised a pair of strong and powerful arms high, lifted Guo Xuanwu up and put it on his shoulders. He walked towards the shore and said: "
We in this industry are all called by nicknames, so from now on I’ll call you ‘Old Toad’! Come on, I’ll arrange for you and your son to live there first!”
The four human bugs laughed heartily. Don't tell me, this ugly monster really does look like a toad.
The five people hugged Guo Bin ashore and walked towards a row of simple houses built with wooden sheds in the north. Along the way, everyone was arm-in-arm, talking and laughing. Although they were all from the lower class, their sincerity was still there.
I don’t know how many times better than the hypocrisy of those upper class society.
After finishing work that night, Lin Heidu invited several good river sticks to come over with their wives, children and partners. Everyone sat together to have a light meal and drink some wine. During the dinner, Lin Heidu introduced Guo Bin and his son.
It made everyone get to know each other, and they officially recognized this "Old Toad" brother. The scene was very warm.
The happiest person was Guo Xuanwu. He met several playmates of the same age and quickly became close to them.
The next morning, when the adults went to work, Guo Xuanwu and Lin Heitu's three sons, Lin Dai, Lin She, and Lin Tu, as well as their two timid sisters, Lin Yixuan and Lin Wanxuan, were playing together by the river.
Lin Dai was their eldest brother. He liked Guo Xuanwu very much and kept teaching him this and that. The two of them first inserted a piece of reed into the sand hole to catch crabs, then tied a frog's leg to catch frogs, and then poured water to catch crickets.
, using gauze nets to catch small fish and shrimps, using blades of grass to whistle, etc., which made Guo Xuanwu very happy and addicted.
The second eldest brother, Lin Snake, and the third eldest brother, Lin Tuze, each held a reed pole, soaked it in water and used it as a sword, and played a sword fighting game. The two younger sisters, Lin Yixuan and Lin Wanxuan, were building sand castles on the sand by the river.
Lin Snake and Lin Tu felt that the fight was not enough, so they pulled Lin Dai and Guo Xuanwu to join the battle group, and the four of them fought together with four reed poles.
For the first time, Guo Xuanwu soaked a reed stick in water and used it as a sword. He felt very curious. He unconsciously introduced Mi Xuan Qi as he hit it. The reed stick in his hand was immediately as hard as a wooden stick, and the water droplets thrown out were also
The real energy was condensed, and it hit the three brothers like pebbles. The pain made them all grimace, and the straw sticks crossed each other. The reed sticks of the three people broke instantly, and the three brothers were all confused.
